Mono (and maybe Microsoft?) wants to put .NET programming on the iPhone.

Interestingly, Unity (game engine) is being ported to the iPhone and that uses Mono for scripting.

Hardly scientific and thorough... I realize you mentioned that in your post, but I think it needs repeating.

To each their own. :D

I saw a C# 3.0 video of his last week. It was very interesting. Thanks for the links.

jkealey: Ditto what Tinco said. I'd say it's mostly a hobby / research project which might have some use in the future.

Btw, Microsoft has a similar project called Singularity, but that uses assembly, c, c++ as well as 2 other languages Microsoft Research developed (Sing# and Spec#).

Linkify =)

bleh, links to a blog, then the msdn article.

kick this one instead. it's a direct link

It's not blog spam, it references the earlier post but it's certainly not a copy of it.

Wow, that really is useful!

Note: IronLisp has been effectively replaced by IronScheme.

Btw, there should be a category for DLR topics.

The event is not free, is it?

Subsonic, without a doubt!

Here's an response to probably the most asked question...

"I have been asked quite a few times by my peers whether I am trying to compete with the Ajax Control ToolKit. Certainly not. The idea of developing these kind of controls strike me long ago when I was deep into the flake development for Pageflakes where the flakes were/still rendered in the client side by getting the data from web service call followed with extensive DHTML operations which includes html string concatation or generic DOM tree building. Certainly it is not a good choice in terms of separating data from UI rendering and at that time, I really missed those rich set of data controls of Asp.net in the client side. This is the primary difference between AjaxDataControls and ACT, the AjaxDataControls is developed only for Client Centric Development Model of Asp.net Ajax, on the other hand, the ACT is much more friendly with the Server Centric Development Model. And certainly I want to be in the driver seat in leading the development of these controls, that is why I did not try to submit it to ACT."

Most people are waiting on Silverlight 1.1, but I don't expect Silverlight to overtake Flash in the near future.

Nice article. From the comments.

NGenerics library has this.

The free PowerCollections library also has a set.

.NET 3.5 has a generic HashSet collection.
